Movie on Faust IndieWeb Movie Club August 2026 Man is good: His spirit strives for truth! Erzengel Let’s strive this August by watching Faust (1926), directed by F.W. Murnau. It is a silent black-and-white supernatural horror. If you’ve never seen a silent film before or don’t care much for them, this is a memorable movie that will spark interest. I saw it three years ago after a friend highly recommended it. It quickly landed on my Letterboxd top 4. The runtime is 1 hour 46 minutes and is available to watch on YouTube, Wikipedia, the Internet Archive, and probably many other places, as the film is in the Public Domain. I recommend either YouTube with English title cards or the Internet Archive with captions for the original German cards. Faust follows an aging scholar who becomes the subject of a bet between God and the Devil, Mephisto, who claims he can corrupt a man’s soul. The legend the film is based on has inspired several movies with its many tropes, e.g., Deal with the Devil (aka Faustian Bargain), Shoulder angel, Crossroads, to name a few. Join the IndieWeb Movie Club by watching the film and writing about it on your site. Send me a link or Webmention, and I’ll include your post on this page. Before the Silver Screen Explore the Faust legend (based on German alchemist Johann Georg Faust), and the works preceding the 1926 movie: (1587) The first print mention of Faust appeared in Faustbuch (1592) Doctor Faustus, a play by Christopher Marlowe1 (1808 / 1832) Faust, A play by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe2 (1835) Letters on Faust, analysis of Goethe’s Faust by C.G.
